I forgot to mention that I shot several pictures with fill in flash in order to have more detail in the background, and I shot this close up with the flash on. At lower speeds the results are quite nice. Without flash, this picture would have been impossible since it was a very short time to frame and focus.

Oh yeah!!! I'm having so much fun running to catch my cats which I find very eye catching... This is a photo from my first cat Neka. She was very patient and stood still every time I asked. I really like shooting in low light conditions, and I try to take advantage of the last drop of sun.
Here are the details:

EOS 40D
Speed 1/6
f 5
Focal Length 45mm
ISO 160
NO FLASH
Auto Levels in CS
Note: The reflection in her eyes is the reflection of my room's window, but looks like a soft box I have to say!
